BALLSTON SPA - A Milton man pleaded guilty to attempted rape Thursday for an incident last year in the Creek and Pines Mobile Home Park.

Stephen R. Edgar, 23, pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted rape for having a relationship with an under aged girl at the park in August, said District Attorney James Murphy.

Edgar actually called police to report that he thought neighbors in the park wanted to hurt him because of rumors he had a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl, Saratoga County Sheriff's deputies said.

While investigating that claim, authorities discovered that Edgar did have sexual contact with a girl and he was originally charged with felony second-degree rape.
